It's a constructive dismissal where I live, unless your employment contract specifies you must work in the office. If it doesn't and you applied for and accepted a remote job, then you're pretty much golden.

I'm not in USA though FWIW.

I wouldn't on a laptop at all FWIW, need my 24" 1080p monitor for that.

Sometimes changing just the user agent isn't enough FWIW.

Even if Lemmy does fight it and doesn't accept the fingerprinting bullshit, how many other websites are going to do that? We're just a link aggregator at the end of the day, I feel like all of the most important parts of the Internet are no longer going to be open.

My old work laptop had an integrated cover, my new work laptop just doesn't lol

I know this is generally the case with lawyers getting all the settlement money, but I think due to people not signing up I actually recently got a $200 cheque from the Yahoo data breach settlement in the mail lol

Aren't they lying? Or maybe they stepped it back from the horrible reception they got lol. Or maybe it was all just a big calculated move to get people to log into Ubisoft again and possibly buy more games.

I use X11/Xorg every day. It may not be the most modern thing ever, but it has absolutely every feature I want, and doesn't have random apps like Synergy (sorry) that say "This app is not supported in Wayland"

Everybody has a breaking point, right? This could have been the breaking point for many people.

He's not, his whole account is ChatGPT generated answers.

That's a ChatGPT generated answer 😭

Is it bad that I use ChatGPT enough to to be able to recognize that's a ChatGPT generated answer?

Honestly those reasons aren't the main reason why they went with the fediverse. For communism, it's because decentralization means that companies can't own the technology - by design. The meme "you have no power here" applies. For trans people, I believe it's because they can have their own community that they truly own, and decide who they can link with through federation/defederation and being able to decide who can participate rather than having to put up with a company making those decisions.

If you're gonna have an account dedicated to ChatGPT-generated answers, at least have it do something cool like a catgirl maid typing style.

We need a boobs social media platform. Now that's a million dollar idea.

What prevents Google from lying about how their algorithms work, though? How could it actually be verified? There's no way it could just be as simple as they give their word and suddenly that's good enough for a court ruling?

Hold up... You're not actually saying that Chrome and Chromium will die out within a decade, and not only that, but YouTube only has a year or less left? I do not believe that at all lol

So wait, is Google only suggesting things that are popular, or are they displaying things people didn't search out themselves? How do they prove that in court, do they need to show their source code or something?

this guy is doing exactly what he wants to do and their goal is to make money not to lose them.

How does this make him money exactly? lol

He is literally just killing off his website.

Both. Both is good.

It's a feature that makes the website more convenient for me to use. I like to work on software I know I will use myself, and then I share it with the rest of the world in case somebody else wants to use it too.

I'm sure Lemmy will get optional infinite scrolling implemented with a better implementation than mine, but it was a fun afternoon project (started out as a quick 30 minute project before the race conditions) the day before starting my new remote dev job.

I think more options and user choice is a good thing.

If he keeps doing this people are just gonna switch to Mastodon lol

If you want to talk about going from Reddit to Lemmy, probably lack of infinite scrolling, so I went ahead and made a Firefox addon called Lemmy Infinite Scroller. It's 11 lines of code. It's literally an addEventListener for the scroll event. Apparently it can take up to 3 weeks for it to be approved and end up in the Firefox Add-ons store, so I won't link it here, but it's coming.

edit: A few hours later, it's up to 40 lines of code because of handling race conditions. It should work well under normal use now but if people scroll too fast it could cause problems loading two pages ahead instead of one. It's obviously not ideal compared to an official implementation but it's something at least, unless it gets officially implemented in Lemmy before my add-on gets approved. lol
